Soliloquy

In a recent Blog Post, Kurtz pretty much says that the peer pressure from moving in with the PA guys is causing him to play more Video Games, which he thinks will, in turn, cause him to make comics about video games.

Luckily, peer pressure is very real. It changes when you get older. It’s less about what clothes you wear and what drugs you should try and more about how you spend your precious free time. When your peer group sits around doing nothing, you do a lot of that. When they tell you to go buy Red Dead Redemption because we’re forming a posse later, you do that.

Kurtz said earlier in the post that the reason for him not doing video game jokes was he stuck to the mantra of "write what you know." Since his free time essentially amounted to "sitting around doing nothing," I think that would explain why his comics in recent years have been about, well... nothing.

So, will Kurtz's new social life cause his comics to improve?

I say... maybe?

I'd say his comics will improve ...

Doesn't matter whether it'll change his comic or not. It won't change his narsissistc attitude.

So the run of comics the forum have been hating on could have been avoided if on of us invited Kurt the Tastemaker to some D&D/L4D sessions?! Who knew...

The way I see it is this:

For the past year or two, kurtz has been leading an extremely dull life, consisting of only hanging out doing nothing, and writing comics about hanging out and doing nothing. Such circumstances cannot inspire greatness -- they inspire dullness.

A major change in his life, in which he's actually hanging around with interesting people and doing interesting things, can only benefit him.

That would explain the fart jokes.

I think he's been getting MUCH better lately. I even think that this will bring him closer to his roots.


You guys are so negative. First you were all like, "He is doing all characters now! I want my game comix!!" and now you're all like, "Meh. Who needs another comic about games?"

Fickle bastards.

I think he should do BOTH,..write what you know, AND write about games. AFter all, the name of the strip is "PVP" .."Player Vs Player". Either that or change the comic name to something else.

Well, it is the name of the in-comic magazine, for what it's worth.

The only thing that really chaps my ass about Kurtz is that he pisses and moans about having probably the coolest and easiest fucking job on the planet.

The real question is when will he return to making good comics?
I still followed PVP long after Kurtz had all but abandoned videogames as a subject. It's not the subject matter that's kept me from going back, its the lack of quality. I go back visit every now and then, sift through a few week's worth, and it just isn't funny anymore. It hasn't been for some time.

And that's not to say Kurtz himself isn't hilarious. He gets a tonne of laughter from me in the Aquisitions Incorporated podcasts, for example. He is still capable of the same humour he used to deliver frequently, he just doesn't bother to anymore.

That Bill the Pony one had me in tears.

Overall, someone needs to point a comic out to me one day, then I'll spend the next hours reading the last 3-4 months I missed, with a very bored look on my face.

Is Francis in the comic anymore? Geez.

I don't fucking care about a comic wherein Cole doesn't want thai food and Brent does.

Pish posh, my good sir. Personally, I once made a thread back on HP lightly mocking the droves who used to sniff 'round with all that 'I-am-never-reading-this-piece-of-shit-comic-again-unless-there-are-some-game-jokes-REAL-QUICK' jazz. He did used to have some people who were willing to see where he was going with things, if you'll recall.

I swear, he made that one just so he could write 'The Thais Have It'.
